The Evolving Doughnut

Bern, Switzerland

The future is not something that just happens - it is something we create. With the vision of a fossil-free economy that thrives within planetary and social boundaries, I invest my energy not only in the pragmatic empowerment of organisations, but also in that of my fellow human beings. Because I am deeply convinced that we need new narratives and must take everyone with us on the path to a safer and fairer future. What drives me? An insatiable interest in scientifically sound facts and future-oriented topics. I am passionate about absorbing new knowledge and constantly expanding my horizons - and sharing this knowledge with others. My motto: empowering people to be lifelong learners. Because learning should never stop! I look forward to inspiring discussions and setting off together towards a better future! Let's connect!

I am an organisational  inclusion strategist, working to support leadership with and behavioural change at individual, team, and systems levels. I do that with my own consultancy Unheard Voice. I use ( ) as a foundation for this work. This is an academically robust approach to inclusive behaviours- if you're high in CQ you behave inclusively. It can be a missing link taking some of the guesswork out of the culture and values questions in the DE model. Before working full-time in inclusion, I did it part-time, within my Consultancy.  My career for 30 years before this was working in broadcast journalism as a journalist and leader. My mission is giving the unheard voice a place to speak.    

St Albans, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom

After 20 years as a senior programme manager at PwC, most recently leading PwC's Social Value Transformation, and in the context of a Climate and Nature Crisis that is unfurling right now, I want to help build a regenerative world. A world where human connection and experiences are valued more than consumption and materialism, and where our species can live in a regenerative way with nature and the environment. I see Donut Economics as a fundamental part of how we do this as a species.

I retired early from my career in technology sales.  The culture of corporate America was no longer working for me.  Specifically the idea that there is a moral space, where as long as you are not breaking the law, your only responsibility was to shareholder value and pursuit of profit.  Full acceptance of this leaves little space to connect with your values and principles.  As I dug deeper into the concepts of Doughnut Economics the decision to retire from my professional job was a no-brainer.  It was a purposeful transition from years of accumulating, to focusing on how to thrive so that I could live the concepts.  This in turn has freed up my time and attention capacity to make sense of the current situation of the world, understand the underlying systems, and determine how I can contribute to help make positive change.  I came to DEAL to find guidance on how to take action.
